Hi, I think transmitting a string for defining the texture of the models livery is the wrong way. It costs much memory and all you get is just one texture. Many models have different liveries, and the differences are not only just one texture. The way to define the livery with just one int value is much more flexible. The idea with the "extra properties list to be transmitted" is much better. This should be quite easily done with the alias concept of the property tree. Add a few int, float and string properties to FGMultiplayMgr::sIdPropertyList[] in MultiPlayer\multiplaymgr.cxx like sim/multiplay/aircraft-specific-values/int-value[0] and sim/multiplay/aircraft-specific-values/float-value[19] . Define and initialize all the aircraft-specific-values you need for the aircraft in the -set file and define all the values you want to have transferred (e.g. "sim/doors/door[3]/position-norm") as an alias to those aircraft-specific-values.
